This week's Source to Cycle comes from André Hommen.  Original from Nettetal in Germany, André was inspired by the radio shows broadcasting over the local airwaves, opening up his ears to the house music sound, and influencing his move behind the turntables to hone his craft.

André is widely known as one of the crew at Dennis Ferrer's Objektivity label,  helping the develop the careers of Ferrer, Argy, Martinez Brothers, and finding the time to also develop his own production style and DJ career.  Releases on Objektivity and Plastic City have wetted his appetite to further his production career, so we look forward to some future music from him.

Catch André Hommen on Tuesday 16th July at Luciano & Friends at Ushuaia, Ibiza alongside Dennis Ferrer, Andrea Oliva, Laps, Michel Cleis, Luciano & more...

Hidden Depths x Desolat Takeover - Hoxton FM - (05.04.14)

--

After starring in one of our most popular Against the Clock episodes, it's Tom Demac's turn on the FACT mix.

Demac has been releasing music for over 10 years, since launching the now-defunct Electronique Audio label for his own productions in 2004, but has really risen up the house and techno ranks over the last few years, releasing on club strongholds like Hypercolour, Aus Music, Drumcode and Pets Recordings.

His FACT mix centres around unreleased material: it opens on an edit of Gazelle Twin (Demac recently released an EP on HypeLTD, editing material from the Brighton musician's recent album Unflesh), and features three tracks from a new EP, Smoke Satined Ivories, due on Aus on March, as well as a handful of other edits Demac has made for his sets: tracks that he's "run through pedals and added octaves here and there".

It seems weird to think of Demac being 10 years into his career now, but his FACT mix shows him at his most authoritative. Oh, and he's definitely not forgotten that sometimes you just need to beat the listener round the head with a massive bassline, either.

David Paglia's love for music includes a well diversified palette of styles such as Jazz, Soul, Funk, and Disco. All serve as inspiration to his productions spanning underground house through techno and remixes/edits of dance music tunes. A very strong influence was garnered from his grandfather whom was a leader of a Big band/Jazz ensemble playing Clarinet and Alto Saxophone. This and early journeys into the nightlife scene steered David's passion for music towards DJ/Production. When performing he feels music selection for the situation is paramount with technical mixing skills adding the special touch that keeps listeners drawn into the musical journey.

David Paglia has releases on Soul Clap Records and Cenote Records. A vinyl press with Jay Prouty, Dojo Sessions Volume 1, has been flying off racks at Halcyon Record Shop in Brooklyn and Love Vinyl in London, UK. Productions have received support from Will Martin (Dolly, Supply Records), Eli Goldstein (Soul Clap), Moodyman, and The Juan Maclean in his recent mix for Defected Radio. DJ gigs include Boston with Community Links, Veritae, Re:Set, Vibe Syndicate, DOTC, Some Like It Hott and gigs in Brooklyn including TBA Brooklyn, Homage/Max Cellar, and Come Get Some/Bossa Nova. A highlight to DJ gigs included an invitation by Danny Tenaglia to play his Vinyl Reunion at the Panther Room (Output) in New York City.

Tom Trago’s relationship with music has always been particularly intense. “I couldn’t imagine life without music,” he says. “I feel this physical need to make music every day. It’s like my body needs it as  much as it needs food, water or sunshine.”

Right now, Trago’s immersion in music is almost total. An internationally renowned DJ, producer, live performer and label owner with three critically acclaimed albums to his name, the Dutchman divides his time between all-day studio sessions, DJ gigs and live shows all over the world, and a steady stream of musical collaborations. You sometimes wonder how he finds time to sleep.

His dedication to the cause has been unflinching since his earliest years. He grew up in a free-spirited, artistic household, surrounded by music and encouraged to make his own. He entertained himself by recording his own home-made radio shows using the weird and wonderful albums he found in his parents’ record collection.

At the age of 15, he decided that he would devote his life to music. “I just had this realization that life is so short, you have to pursue your dreams,” he says. “My dream was music. That’s all I ever wanted to do – to listen to it, discover it, make it, play it and share it.”

Ever since, he’s been living that dream. Success wasn’t instant, and in his early years in Amsterdam he barely eked a living DJing in coffee shops, earning just enough to afford to feed his vinyl addiction. “As long as I had enough to live and buy records, I was happy,”.

He was offered encouragement in these difficult early days by a number of figures on the Dutch scene, with the likes of Mike Kivits (AKA Aardvarck) and Steven De Peven (Awanto3) happy to act as unofficial mentors. As he still does now, Tom poured his heart and soul into making music. Early experiments with blends of experimental hiphop, jazz, Latin influences, Afrobeat sounds and soul-flecked broken beat caught the ear of local labels and producers.

By the time local label Rush Hour snapped up his debut single, “Live With The BBQ”, in 2006, he’d already developed a trademark style that blended the best of three decades of dance music – disco, boogie, synth funk, Detroit techno and more – with insatiable house rhythms and an intrinsic grasp of what makes dancefloors tick.

It’s this blend, not to mention his love of collaborating with musicians, vocalists and producers from Amsterdam and beyond (think Romanthony, San Proper, Awanto 3, Cinnaman, Tyree Cooper and Bok Bok), which makes his music so irresistible. Given his impressive track record, it’s perhaps unsurprising that several of his tracks – not least the rush-inducing “Use Me Again” and 2015’s equally delicious “Hidden Heart Of Gold” and “Brutal Romance” – sound like future classics.

It’s not surprising that Tom is a man in demand. Aside from travelling the glove, he continues to develop the Voyage Direct label he founded in 2010, an outlet for Dutch electronic music. It celebrated its’ fifth birthday in Spring 2015 with a label compilation, ahead of an expansive tour.

As time moves on, Tom continues to pour his heart and soul into music, whether DJing, performing live or making new tracks. If you bump into him in the corner of some dark, sweaty club, you’re likely to find him excitedly talking about ideas for new projects.

His immersion in music may be total, but Tom Trago’s musical journey is far from complete. In fact, it’s only just begun…
